On the company's television, the news is being broadcast:

"China's domestic technology company today released the latest generation of process of the Zhonghua chip series processor, whose performance is comparable to the world's most advanced CPU five years ago......"

Hearing the voice of the news host, the company was boiling, five years of hard work, finally made the performance indicators of domestic CPUs to a higher level, everyone slapped the table and cheered, full of confidence in the future.

And at this time, the office of the chief engineer.

Ten years ago, he resigned from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and led a group of disciples to work hard to promote Zhonghua Core to the market.

Putting on his glasses again, the chief engineer looked at the thin young man in front of him, who was only thirty-two years old this year, and in the field of chip design, this is a golden age, with enough experience and energy.

Although he was not born in a professional class of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and joined the company halfway, with his flexible thinking and solid practical ability, this young man has become the project team leader, the company has a total of four project teams, and the leaders of the other three teams are all from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Why resign?" asked the chief engineer.

"I'm retiring. Lin Chong replied.

"RETIRED?" THE CHIEF ENGINEER DIDN'T BELIEVE HIS EARS, "BUT YOU'RE ONLY THIRTY-TWO YEARS OLD THIS YEAR, IF YOU HAVE BEEN INVITED BY ANOTHER COMPANY, YOU CAN TELL ME, I KNOW INTEL HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH YOU......"

"Chief Engineer, I'm really retiring. Lin Chong said honestly, "I have worked with you for nine years, and the bonus performance over the years is combined, in addition to buying a house in Shanghai and daily use, my savings have been five million, which is enough for me to use for a lifetime, so I decided to retire." ”

Five million plus a house sounds like a lot, but if you think about the benefits that Lin Chong has led the project team to participate in the bidding over the years and created for the company, this is a reasonable income.

IN 2010, LIN CHONG JUST JOINED THE COMPANY AND PARTICIPATED IN A "LOW-COST ADVANCED COMPUTER (STAND-ALONE) BIDDING", AND THE PROJECT REQUIRED A COMPUTER WITH A WEB BROWSER, VIRTUAL MACHINE, EMAIL, WORD PROCESSING, AND MEDIA PLAYBACK WITHIN 1,000 YUAN.

INTEL, DELL, LENOVO AND OTHER DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN COMPUTER MANUFACTURERS AND ASSEMBLY MANUFACTURERS ARE HELPLESS, AND THE PURCHASE PRICE IS TOO LOW. It was Lin Chong, under the guidance of the chief engineer, who grabbed this order, and in the next three years, a total of 500,000 units were supplied, which is 500 million sales.

The Yunfu project in 2013, the Yunfu expansion project in 2016, the Jinhua commercial plan in 2017, etc., the fourth group under the leadership of Lin Chong is the profit pillar of the entire company.

Now Lin Chong is retiring?

The chief engineer was a little incomprehensible, Lin Chong had too many slots in his mind to retire, of course, the chief engineer's age, he didn't have the word 'slot' in his mind, he just subconsciously picked out the most obvious flaw, "I know you bought a house in Shanghai, but is five million enough to retire in Shanghai?"

"I have calculated, after paying off the commercial loan of the house, the annual fixed expenses such as property, water and electricity, and the network do not exceed 30,000 yuan, while the living expenses are about 50,000 yuan, personal social insurance and endowment insurance are 50,000 yuan, and other unexpected expenses are 20,000 yuan. ”

"And my investment and financial income, the most conservative estimate, is about five points, completely breaking even, and even surplus. ”

"There will be some unexpected events in life, so I bought all kinds of commercial insurance for the extra part. ”

"Perfect enough to cover my whole life. ”

"Of course, there may also be unforeseen natural disasters such as car accidents, fires, earthquakes, etc., which will cause serious damage to my life and property, and I will use my principal at that time, but even if the principal is reduced, I will still receive a pension from the government at the age of 65. ”

"Since I have always paid my pension according to the highest standard, according to the calculation method in Shanghai, I will have a pension subsidy of nearly 15,000 yuan per month at that time, which is enough to ensure that I have no worries. ”

Lin Chong said very seriously.

"But prices will go up ......," the chief engineer added.

"Now the annual CPI rises and falls at about 3 points, and with the current economic trend of the world, I think that as long as there is no war, it will not affect my life too much. Lin Chong replied.

"No, Xiaolin, this is just the most basic living guarantee, don't you have to make friends? You always have to fall in love and get married, right?" the chief engineer continued to question.

"Forget, Chief Engineer, I'm a staunch unmarried. Lin Chong smiled.

"But what about your career? You are in the best years now, you can still make a lot of contributions to the society, and Zhonghua Core is the time when you are most needed. "The chief engineer was a little excited.

"I don't need a career, I hate people very much, and my ideal in life is to live alone. Lin Chong smiled shyly, "I'm sorry chief engineer, thank you for your trust all the time, many people can replace me, you are the soul of the company." ”

Lin Chong bowed deeply to the chief engineer again, put the resignation letter on the table, and then left the office, the chief engineer looked at his thin back, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and finally could only sigh deeply.

In the joyful atmosphere of the company, Lin Chong quietly packed his things, he didn't have many things, although he joined the company after graduation, this was his first and last job.

Lin Chong is an orphan, he grew up in various relatives' homes since he was a child, he was not bullied like in the TV series, but he also did not feel any family warmth, after working hard to get admitted to university, he began to work to make money, and declined all funding, this decision made his relatives breathe a sigh of relief, and treated him with a much cordial attitude.

After graduating with excellent grades, he joined this company, just in time for the silent period of domestic chips, and the chief engineer led everyone to work together, the atmosphere was very good, and it also allowed Lin Chong to grow rapidly in a favorable environment, which led to the outbreak a few years later.

He didn't make much money in those years, but Lin Chong still saved his salary, according to the diary he had recorded before-it was all recorded whose family had eaten and who had bought clothes, one by one, and even a piece of eraser was remembered clearly.

The notes in the diary went from immaturity to maturity, recording all of Lin Chong's ties with the world, and each time he repaid them with ten, a hundred, or more money, Lin Chong would write off one of them.

Five years ago, when all the entries in the diary were ticked off, Lin Chong felt that he had been given a new life, and then he was thinking about retirement, adding five million to a house, which was a number after his accurate calculation.

I originally thought it would take three to five years, but I didn't expect that Zhonghua Core would catch up with the world's advanced pace and lead the explosion of the domestic chip market, and performed well in the three tracks of military industry, commercial and civilian, and the plan was completed ahead of schedule.

It's finally time to retire.

When Lin Chong was packing up his things, he accidentally found that there was an old-fashioned laptop at the bottom of the desk, and he still remembered this computer, DELL's V13, which he bought in 2010, and now the performance is completely outdated, but it can be regarded as a souvenir.

I tried to turn on the machine, but this V13 continued to black screen without giving face at all.

"I guess the battery is broken. ”

Lin Chong thought that he should take it for repair, and then he picked up the moving box and walked out of the office, everyone was celebrating happily, and no one noticed his departure.

In the jubilant sound of the company behind him, Lin Chong's background seemed lonely and relaxed.
